Bored so I made a tree on my friend's server. Took me almost 2 days but it was worth it. Everything but the vines were hand made.
Put everything in an Imgur album for easier browsing: http://imgur.com/a/09iCf

Seeing what you guys already build makes the stuff I am doing seem rather small. Anyway planning a small Port city.
So far done the warehouse and the lighthouse with a small redstone circuit in it. Now to the infra structure and homes.

Just finished my warehouse. You can throw all your shit in here,
Then it will get sorted and put in boxes.

The mod for the pipes ect. is Buildcraft.

Easier to have a deposit chest and have a redstone engine on it and running at all times and just toss everything in there and let it do it that way if you got alot of crap to sort. Also have obsidian pipes at the bottom to pick up overflows.

Remove the goddamn mushrooms, first of all. They don't really do well in that enviroment, unless you were to do some shit to make it looks more magic or mystic, they mostly fit in darker scenes.

If you're going for a evil church, make some dead/leafless trees here and there, and maybe put up random cheap graves around to give it a feel. If it's a holier kind of church, put up pine/birch trees, and make one of the logs glowstone so it glows at night. That would do a lot of good.

I've been screwing around with all the various mods that change the height of the map, and had finally given up. They all caused me a great deal of lag or didn't want to work at all. Then I stumbled upon a mod that was incredibly easy to install and doesn't cause me any lag, even though it doubled the map height. At any rate, thought I'd post some really neat areas of a map I'm going to build in.

However, someone by the name of thebombzen, whose mods haven't even got that attention, has made several useful mods, including the height changing one I'm using currently.http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/...bombzens-mods/
Down at the bottom is WorldAndGenerationTweaks, which is what changes the height from 128 to 256. It does some other things that you may not like, but I get along decently with them.

I just managed to toss together a chicken farm off on a island next to a bigger island. They are shitting out eggs like no tomorrow. Soon I will flip a switch and they will all fall down and into a channel and be cooked.

Next step is to work on the large oil deposit and start on that.

Edited:

Also redstone power towers:
The towers without their shell:
and with its shell and lit up:

Go into mcedit and plop a few down and fix a wiring problem and you are good to go.

They are quite powerful when you have a few or 2 extremely large ones. Best to hook them up to certain contraptions to make it simpler. I had 4 running a quarry, 2 pumps, and a refinery just fine.
